Table 1.

Neuroimaging abnormality patterns in three variants of primary progressive aphasia for imaging-supported diagnosis (see: [1]).

Variant MRI SPECT/PET
Non-fluent Predominant left posterior fronto-insular atrophy or Predominant left posterior fronto-insular hypoperfusion or hypometabolism
Semantic Predominant anterior temporal lobe atrophy or Predominant anterior temporal hypoperfusion or hypometabolism
Logopenic Predominant left posterior perisylvian or parietal atrophy or Predominant left posterior perisylvian or parietal hypoperfusion or hypometabolism

MRI – magnetic resonance imaging; PET – positron emission tomography; SPECT – single-photon emission computerized tomography.
